title: [The diagnosis of stomach cancer: the status of the problem, the outlook for improvement and the clinico-morphological aspects].
abstract: Having analysed 3000 verified cases of cancer of the stomach, the authors have made the conclusion that current x-ray investigations and computed tomography are effective tools in diagnosis of gastric carcinoma especially in intramural carcinomas, propose the term "intramural blastomatous infiltrate" (IBI) syndrome characterizing initial manifestations of squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach. Morphologically, x-ray symptoms corresponded either to infiltrative growth of gastric cancer or growth of connective tissue under the tumor. Such morphological changes in gastric cancer are likely to result from molecular-genetic polymorphism of the tumors. To make the diagnosis of gastric cancer as early as possible it is necessary to combine updated x-ray, endoscopic and morphological techniques.
